Shortly after Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab came close to blowing up an airliner in the U.S. on Christmas Day, Britain’s intelligence services  picked up information coming from Pakistan and Yemen that alerted MI5 to the creation of the lethal implants. The doctors that perform these radical surgeries are believed to have been trained at some of Britain’s leading teaching hospitals before returning to their home countries and using their training to fuel terrorism.

Cosmetic and plastic surgery for the purpose of beautifying and adornment is impermissible according to Islamic law, but I guess radical Islam deems cosmetic and plastic surgery for the purpose of blowing stuff up permissible~?

Leftists also hate Israel because they hate everything America stands for. To leftists, America is full of Capitalist exploitation. Until Obama was elected, America spread Capitalism, which leftists see as exploiting the workers. Leftists attack corporations, which they see as Capitalists exploiting the working class. Since Israel is an ally of America, leftists hate Israel. Leftists also support the Palestinian cause because Palestinian terrorists managed to twist the Arab-Israeli conflict on its head. Palestinian terrorists managed to portray the conflict where Israel is not the victim of a genocidal war of extermination, but where the Palestinians are fighting a war of national liberation against the “illegal” and “brutal” Israeli “occupiers” that are backed by the left’s hated enemy America. In fact, according to David Meir Levi, it was Communists who trained Arafat to portray his terror war on Israel, not as a genocidal war of extermination, but as a war of national liberation against the “brutal” and “illegal” Israeli “occupiers”. David Meir Levi documented that it was North Vietnamese, the Soviets, as well as the Algerians, that told Arafat to reinvent the conflict where Israel is the bad guy and where the Palestinians are innocent victims who are courageously fighting for their land that Israel “stole” from them. Also, Yasser Arafat and the PLO were useful instruments of the Soviet Union. The PLO formed close ties with and trained many left-wing revolutionary terrorist groups including the Rad Army Faction [RAF] and the Sandinistas, the latter of which leftists seek to portray as innocent victims of US “aggression”. The PLO was a useful instrument of the Soviet Union in the USSR’s war to bring down the democratic west. The PLO terror attacks included not just terrorist attacks on Jews and Israelis, but also terrorist attacks on Americans like on the US ambassador to Sudan Cleo Noel. The terrorists who killed him just acted on Arafat’s orders. It’s well-known that the Arab League created the PLO in 1964 [three years before Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza in the 1967 Six Day War]. But according to Ion Mahai Pacepa [as mentioned in the source of the first hyperlink of the column], the Soviets created the PLO as another instrument in fighting the west, at a time when the Soviets created “national liberation” movements. Communists were good at twisting conflicts around where they’re portrayed as the victims like in the Vietnam war and in Latin America. In the Vietnam War, North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam. Yet they managed to get many “progressives” in the west to be eating out of their hands. Same is true about Latin America, where Castro, Che Guevara and the Sandinistas are portrayed as heroes who fought for the poor while America is portrayed as the big bad guy.

The PLO included Communist factions like the PFLP [Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine] and the DFLP [Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine]. The PLO also managed to get Islamist influence and to work with Islamist groups. 

In the Palestinian terrorist struggle, radical leftists and Islamists are rivals. However, they still cooperate when it comes to the genocidal war of extermination against Israel, which is there to destroy the Jewish state. 

It was Yasser Arafat, the same guy who trained revolutionary leftist terrorist groups all over the world, who was the first one to recognize Khomeini’s regime in Iran, which was [and is even after Khomeini's death] completely Islamist. 

It was during the first intifada when Hamas was created. The PLO was losing its power and influence. But Hamas was growing and took over the first intifada from the PLO. Hamas was created by the Muslim Brotherhood as a Jihadist front against the State of Israel. So it was partly cause of Hamas that the PLO “recognized” the existence of Israel and “denounced” terrorism. But during the Oslo years, the Fatah-dominated PA [Palestinian Authority] [since 1969 when Arafat became the leader of Fatah, Fatah was the dominant faction of the PLO] cooperated with and supported rejectionist Palestinian terrorists groups including Islamist ones like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad [PIJ]. The BBC life in pictures had a picture of Arafat kissing then-Hamas leader [as well as Hamas founder] Ahmad Yassin. 

The second intifada is a perfect illustration of the leftist-Islamist alliance when it comes to the Palestinian cause. That was a terror uprising organized by Yasser Arafat. All Palestinian rejectionist groups took part in this terror struggle against Israel regardless of the ideology of the groups. It was when extreme leftist groups cooperated with Islamist groups in that struggle to destroy the State of Israel. The liberal mainstream media claims that it was a response to Ariel Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount. However, Imad Faluji, the PA Communications Minister, stated that it was planned since Arafat returned from the Camp David talks, where he rejected a very generous offer from Israel, which was 97% of what the Palestinians claim they want. 

Fasial Husseini, then PA Minister of Jerusalem Affairs, stated that the Oslo accords was a trojan horse to eventually eliminate Israel. 

Perhaps even before the second intifada [and during the second intifada as well], Communist terrorist groups like the DFLP and the PFLP, both of which were [and are] led by Christians who consider themselves Palestinians first and Christians second, used Islamists to carry out their suicide bombing attacks. After all, the suicide bombers have a radical Islamic worldview and believe that they’ll go to heaven if they blow themselves up killing infidels in what they see as Allah’s holy war to spread “true” Islam. They believe that the Jews in Israel are infidel occupiers on Muslim holy land. So of course, Palestinian suicide bombers believe the radical Islamic propaganda that includes the garb of Palestinian “nationalism”. 

Not only was the second intifada a cooperation of radical leftist and Islamist Palestinian rejectionist groups in the war to destroy Israel, but the leftist-Islamist alliance also intensified outside the holy land. Leftists also make the same accusations Islamists make against Israel and the USA. Many radical leftists do form alliances with Islamists when it comes to issues like the war on terror including [and perhaps especially] the Iraq war, in putting Islam up above criticism and in the Palestinian war on Israel. After the Hamas election victory in the 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections and the tension between Fatah and Hamas, leftists see Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah as puppets of the US and Israel and portray Hamas as a legitimate resistance movement. What’s funny was that when Fatah was the dominant faction of the PLO [that is when it was controlled by Yasser Arafat], leftists supported the PLO. Now, to leftists, the PLO’s dominant faction Fatah are just puppets of the US and Israel. That assessment of the left started since Oslo accords and became more prominent to the left after Mahmoud Abbas’s succession of Arafat as the leader of Fatah and the PLO, the Hamas election victory and during the civil wars between Fatah and Hamas. To many leftists and radical Palestinians, any time the Palestinian Authority follows their signed agreements like in hunting down terrorists [even for show], they act as “puppets” of the US and Israel. To sum it up, the PLO, which was the revolutionary leftist terror group popular to the radical left even when it was under the control of Fatah, now has its dominant faction coming out of favor with leftists who now see it as puppets of the US and Israel. This is one leftist article that portrays Abbas as a puppet of America and Israel and that portrays Hamas as courageously standing up to those two countries and fails to mention Hamas’s rejectionist ideology and their terrorist aggression on Israel.

To many leftists, Hamas is the group that is condemned by the west and Israel, not for its terrorism and rejectionist stance, but for not being a “puppet” of America and Israel. Fatah pretending to be Israel’s “peace” partner came with strings attached. It cost that group leftist support and the support of many radical Palestinians. PLO factions including the PFLP left the Fatah-dominated PLO because of the Oslo accords. 

Mahmoud Abbas is better at the game of pretending to be a moderate. That also helped to make him and his Fatah movement seem like puppets of America and Israel in the eyes of many leftists and radical Palestinians. Yet even Mahmoud Abbas’s PA, in its widespread incitement, still spreads anti-American propaganda [taking the same leftist claims] as well as hatred toward Israel and Jews.

Another place where the leftist-Islamist alliance can be seen is in the anti-war movement. The anti-war movement became louder around the time of the Iraq war. It portrayed itself as a movement opposed to the invasion of Iraq. However, it also attacked America and portrayed America as the bad guy. It also attacked Israel and voiced support for the Palestinian terrorist struggle against Israel. A movement in the anti-war movement is the International Solidarity Movement [ISM], which is another name for the PSM [Palestinian Solidarity Movement]. The ISM portrays itself as a peace group that opposes Israel’s “occupation”. In reality, it is a front for Palestinian terrorism and seeks the goal of Israel’s destruction, as seen here. Adam Shapiro, cofounder of the ISM and a Jew himself, even stated that he doesn’t consider himself as a Jew. While Arafat was trapped in a compound, Shapiro spent the night with him and had breakfast with him. The ISM is a member group of United for Justice and Peace.

This is what I reported:

ANSWER [Stop the war and end Racism] has called for Israel’s destruction. The Party for Socialism and Liberation stated this about an event that calls for the right of return, which was sponsored by ANSWER, Party for Socialism and Liberation and Al-Awda:

A lecture by keynote speaker Dr. Salman Abu Sitta discussed al-Nakba and how to work toward implementing the right of return. Prof. Saree Makdisi and Dr. Ghada Karmi spoke about the necessity and inevitability of a one-state solution for Palestine.

A heated discussion followed, which included many of the participants in the convention.

May 17 began with a number of workshops and discussion topics including “Youth organizing for the return,” “Prisoner campaign” and “Culture and resistance” led by Ziad Abbas from the Dheisha refugee camp, Dr. Anan Odeh, and former L.A. Eight defendant Michel Shehadeh.

ANSWER called for the right of return, which would demographically destroy Israel. Also, ANSWER is publicly Socialist and is among the extreme left in bashing America and its allies including Israel.
ANSWER stated:

What started as an anti-war, anti-imperialist protest, escalated into a battle to defend many progressive issues—stopping the war and threats against Iran; defending the Palestinian struggle; defending women’s and same-sex marriage rights; and demanding equality for immigrants. 

It supports the Palestinian terrorist struggle against Israel [I'm not saying all Palestinians are terrorists or seek the destruction of Israel, but destroying Israel is the goal of all Palestinian terrorists].
It calls on stopping “the war and threats against Iran” despite the fact that Iran is a threat to us [the west including America], but not the other way around. Immigrants have equal rights. Homosexuals have equal rights in Israel, while the Palestinian Homosexuals get lynched and hide in Israel. An Islamist victory will result in homosexuals and anyone who leaves Islam getting killed and/or arrested. Homosexuals are killed and/or arrested in Arab and Muslim countries including Saudi Arabia and Iran.

ANSWER was another group that supports the Palestinian terror struggle against Israel, while claiming to be for same-sex marriage. The fact is that Israel, unlike the Palestinian Authority, Iran and Arab countries, doesn’t persecute homosexuals. 

Islamists stand against everything radical leftists claim to stand for such as equality for everyone, same sex marriage, gay rights and women’s rights.

Also, the Stop the War Coalition also has as a member group the British faction of the Muslim Brotherhood known as the Muslim Association of Britain [MAB]. Even the far-left Socialist Workers Liberty criticized the Stop the War Coalition for having the MAB as a member group. 

George Galloway, a Vice President from the Stop the War Coalition, publicly supports Hezbollah and many other totalitarian enemies of America and Israel. Many leftists [including Chomsky and Finkelstein] see Hamas [as well as other radical Palestinian groups] and Hezbollah as resistance groups that “courageously” resist Israel’s “occupation” of “Palestine” and Lebanon. The leftist-Islamist alliance and its stance on the Palestinian terrorist struggle can be seen on universities. Leftists and Islamists collude in shouting down speakers who give a pro-American, pro-Israel, Conservative and/or anti-Islamist viewpoint such as David Horowitz and Nonie Darwish. And mob violence by anti-Israel figures at Concordia university in 2002 got former and future Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to not come in order to not risk his safety. Jewish students were being harrassed and were thusly the victims of hate crimes. Many pro-Israel groups and individuals [including students] voice concern about the increasing anti-Semitism and submit reports on the harrassment of Jewish students. When someone takes a look at what’s the cause of it, it can be seen as coming from radical Muslims and their far-leftist “allies”. Islamists and their leftist allies smeared the heroic Islamo-Fascism Awareness week and those who participated in it tirelessly. Hateful speakers such as Malik Ali, and radical Islamic oppressors such as Mohammed Khatami and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are invited to speak at campuses. Inviting people like those three guys is like inviting a KKK speaker to come. When Itmar Marcus, the head of Palestinian Media Watch, which monitors the media in Arab and Islamic countries [especially in the Palestinan Authority], people were taking flyers that said he was coming to speak down. Teachers also give their anti-American views in classes, which include anti-Israel views and which portray radical Islamic terrorists as victims.

Leftists seek to portray domestic and international issues in a Marxist setting; between a bourgeoius and a prolitariat. They view it as between a rich 5% that is guilty of capitalist exploitation and a poor 95% that is victimized by the top 5%. Leftists put that garb in issues like environmentalism, race, health care and gender. To leftists, those who struggle against the west are the proletariat [or the oppressed masses] while the west and its allies [seen by the left as its agents] are the bad guys. Israel is allied to the west, especially to the left’s hated enemy America because of shared values. As mentioned before, Israel being allied to America [as well as to the west] gets leftists to be opposed to Israel. After all, Palestinians were trained by Communists in their propaganda techniques. Since Palestinians are fighting against a country that respects western civilization and which shares its values, leftists choose to support the Palestinian cause. Fatah, which dominated the PLO, was once heroic to the left. As I mentioned, it was under Fatah domination that the PLO started [or increased] in training revolutionary leftist terrorist groups and was a useful instrument for the Soviet Union in bringing down the democratic west. The PLO [under Fatah domination] got backing from Castro’s Cuba and Sandinista Nicaragua. Now that Fatah is pretending to be Israel’s “peace” partner, leftists portray Fatah as puppets of their despised enemies, the US and its ally Israel. Leftists portray history in a Marxist setting. They seek to portray history in a way that proves Karl Marx right when he said,”The history of the world is the history of class struggle”. That includes the Arab-Israeli conflict. Leftists seek to portray the Israelis as the bourgeois, rich 5% or as the corporations, lobbies and insurance companies while portraying the Palestinians as the proletariat, the oppressed masses, or as the 65 million Americans who supposedly don’t have health coverage. Leftists also use their Marxist setting on race sometimes when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict. They portray it as the white Israelis who oppress Palestinians for having darker skin. However, there is no truth in that analysis. There are plenty of white Palestinians [for Yasser Arafat was white, but then again, he wasn't even born in Israel or the so-called Palestinian territories] and plenty of colored Israelis including colored IDF soldiers. At least half of Israel’s Jewish population are people from Middle Eastern and African countries and their descendants. So the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians have nothing to do with skin color. Race does play a role, but not in a way leftists portray it. The Arab-Israeli conflict is really a terrorist war of extermination against Jews in their own homeland. Leftists claim that Jewish settlers who came to build their country in their historical homeland were “agents” of western [or European] “imperialism”. However, Jews fled Europe. Many of the Zionist militias actually fought the British for violating their Mandate obligations by not allowing Jews in to rebuild their country [that was done to appease rejectionist Arabs]. Marx is wrong when he said,”The history of the world is the history of class struggle”. He is especially wrong when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict [though to be fair, the conflict did come way after his death, but he was still wrong to make that claim then].

Since leftists seek to portray the west [and particularly America] as the bourgeois or the top 5% and those who fight the west as proletariat [or the masses] fighting for freedom, leftists then identify with Islamic terrorists. Leftists downplay [if not deny the existence of] the religious fanaticism of radical Islamic terrorists. To leftists, radical Islamic terrorists are not fighting America for being an infidel nation, but for its policy of America, what leftists see, of being the rich 5%. Leftists do admit that the means of Islamic terrorists are abhorrent, but still portray their aims as noble [the aims are far from noble, since those aims are to subjugate the world to their intolerant interpretation of Islam]. Leftists claim that the terrorists hate us [America] because of its policies, not because of it being an infidel nation that’s the antithesis of the radical Islamic ideology. Leftists claim that radical Muslims hate America for Capitalist “exploitation” in the Arab and Muslim world. Leftists claim that radical Muslims hate America for supporting Arab dictators [may contain some truth, but it is still nowhere near the root cause] that oppress their people. Yet those same Arab dictators still promote hatred toward America and Israel. America also pressured them to implement democratic reforms. For even receiving US aid, Arab dictators including the Saudi regime are portrayed as US puppets, even though they stab them in the back. Though Arab dictators are totalitarian and corrupt, to claim that radical Muslims fight to free their countries from those dictators is absurd; considering the fact that the kind of society radical Muslims fight for is less free than the Arab dictators [Saudi Arabia is already a radical Islamic dictatorship] To leftists, the biggest crimes of the Arab regimes is accepting US aid and support. Leftists blast Saddam Hussein for having received some US aid in the 1980’s in his war with Iran, more so than for his killings and torturing of thousands of innocent people.

Since America’s enemies are the same as Israel’s enemies and since Israel has a great amount of respect for western civilization and is allied with the west [particularly America], the Palestinian cause has seemed more appealing to the political left, with the usual characters of a leftist scenario: imperialist west [and its agent Israel], Palestinian puppets of western imperialism [Fatah] and people courageously fighting against western imperialism [Hamas]. Since leftists are obsessed with focusing when the west fights democratically-elected governments, leftists decided to make the radical Islamist Hamas seem like courageous heroes who were democratically-elected and who are now undermined by the west and Israel for not “giving in”. This is a favorite tactic in order for them to make the false claim that the west is not fighting for real democracy.

The left, whether intentionally or not, is facilitating the Islamists in imposing Sharia law on the world. To the left, Israel is on the wrong end in their Marxist-like class setting. Palestinians are seen as dark-colored people [even though as stated, there are white Palestinians and black Israelis] and Israelis are seen as white. The Palestinian cause has the appealing themes of any left-wing cause, a class setting and even a distorted theme of dark-skinned people courageously fighting for their land while the bad guy is an ally of the west. The myth of Israeli “colonialism” and “imperialism” are thrown in there. And the goals of Palestinian terrorists are portrayed in a positive light. Leftists omit the fact that they seek the destruction of a free democracy. Though leftists have no problem with portraying the terror attacks as horrible, leftists act like the ruthless terrorist aggression by Palestinian terrorists are the only means they have to fight Israel’s “oppression”. 

The Soviet Union, like the US, voted for the 1947 UN partition plan. The Soviets thought that Israel may be on their fold in the Cold War. However, instead of being a totalitarian Communist state, Israel ended up being a western-style democracy and ended up being an ally to the west [particularly to America] because of shared democratic and other freedom-loving values. Israel ended up being a useful ally to America in the Cold War. The Soviets switched to the Arab side and saw their goal of Israel’s destruction as a useful instrument to gain more influence in the Middle East and to expel western influence. After all, the PLO included Communist factions and even trained radical leftist groups that were useful to the Soviets in brining down the democratic west.  It came to be that the Palestinians, in the usual Marxist setting, were seen as any third world movement fighting for freedom from “imperialism” and/or “colonialism” from the west and its agent. This is why the Palestinian cause is more appealing to leftists. It’s more appealing to Islamists since it would mean the destruction of a non-Muslim state and would give them the ability to turn the holy land into an expansionist radical Islamic dictatorship. To Islamists, the destruction of Israel ushers in expelling “dar al-harb” from the land of “dar al-Islam” and in destroying the rest of the non-Muslim world in order to reestablish the caliphate and to turn the whole world into an Islamic caliphate ruled by Sharia law. The left has its reasons to support the Palestinian cause. And Islamists have their reasons to support that cause. That’s why the Palestinian cause is an essential element of the leftist-Islamist alliance. 

Unlike some religious traditions, Judaism comprehends evil as something inherently human.

One of the commentors, who identifies himself as el-Zeide and who kept on seeing self-hating Jewish themes all over the extreme leftist propaganda blog made the following comment on my article:

Good for your post.
Those people at the Richard Silverstein site are really so hard self haters that is hard to keep reading.
Besides of making so a Bad and distorted use of the concept of Tikun Olam.

I wrote the posts just before yours.

Thank you!

Richard Silverstein’s propaganda post starts off as:

Los Angeles’ Museum of In-Tolerance, named in honor of Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal, is now steeped in Muslim hatred. Rabbi Marvin Hier, its current leader, has endorsed the Iran yellow star hoax. Now, he’s actively promoting one of the most Islamophobic films ever produced, Third Jihad.

Funny! I’ve been to the Museum of Tolerance plenty of times and did not see any “Muslim hatred”. How can it be steeped in something it doesn’t have? Also, the Third Jihad is not an islamo-phobic film. It doesn’t even say that radical Islam represents all of Islam. At the beginning of the film [though the hyperlink here takes you to the 30 minute abridged version of the film], it even states that it’s not about Islam, but about radical Islam and that only a small percentage of Muslims are radical. In fact, the Third Jihad also documents human rights violations in Muslim countries against Muslim citizens, like showing the modesty police harassing Iranian women over how they should be veiled.

This film is nowhere close to being Islamo-phobic. In the film, you hear the director Zudhi Jassar say that he resented that the radical Muslims exploiting “the religion I love”. Does that sound like “one of the most Islamophobic films ever produced”? To me, the answer is no. Furthermore, Zudhi Jassar calls himself a devout Muslim. He doesn’t even blame all of Islam for the threat of radical Islam. He doesn’t blame the religion, which he admitted that he loves. So Jassar stated that he loves Islam. Silverstein alleges that Hier endorsed the yello star “hoax” when it comes to Iran. The hyperlink doesn’t take you to him confirming it, but to  another post about Jewish neo-con groups allegedly making up the story that Jews in Iran are forced to have yellow stars. On the yellow star law passed in Iran, I will not say whether it is true or not. So I won’t confirm or deny it. But I will say that religious minorities in Iran including Jews are treated as second-class citizens, as seen here.

Richard Silverstein continues:

The Clarion Fund is listed as the sponsor of the film, though its creators (including Rabbi Raphael Shore) are affiliated with the pro-settler Aish Hatorah, a group based in Israel.  Clarion appears to be little more than a domestic shell organization designed to enable the producers to claim the film was made in the U.S.

Third Jihad features Zuhdi Jasser, who though he professes to be Muslim, seems to detest almost everything about his religion, especially anything that remotely hints of Islam existing in a political context. 

Yes, I see how Jassar saying that he loves Islam makes him “detest almost everything about his religion”. Even if the Clarion fund is listed as the sponsor of the film, it doesn’t make it not created in the US. Aish is not primarily a pro-settler group, but a pro-Israel group. Sure,  Aish may be religious [I'm a secular Jew]. It’s funny that Silverstein complains that Jassar detests his religion existing in a political context [it may be true of false, depending on what that means, for Jassar doesn't seek to get rid of any symbol of Islam from the public life]. Yet many of Silverstein’s fellow liberal leftists want to get rid of any symbol of Christianity in public life [I'm for separation of church and state, but I don't go that far].

Next, Richard Silverstein says the following in his propaganda post:

Jasser makes common cause with Muslim haters like Daniel Pipes and other Jewish neocons.  Years ago, he was active in CAIR but that relationship turned sour.  Now he detests everything to do with the national Muslim organization and takes every chance he can to attack it.  Third Jihad provides him all the opportunity he needs.

In the film, he purports to have discovered a radical Muslim version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion:

“The Third Jihad” is largely based on a document the producers say the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) discovered in 2003. The film’s creators purport the document is a “’Grand Jihad Manifesto’ authored by the Muslim Brotherhood in North America, according to the promotional materials.

“The 15-page document outlines goals and strategies for the infiltration and domination of America from within,” says the release. “Among the strategies discussed is the establishment of ‘moderate’ groups, mosques and Islamic centers across North America in an effort to strategically position Islam so that it might weaken western culture and promote the implementation of Sharia Law.”

CAIR wrote a letter of protest to Rabbi Hier about the profound insult that this film poses to all American Muslims.  But Hier has about as much sensitivity to the concerns of Muslims as a deaf person would have to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

Silverstein has the chutzpah to say the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memo document is the “radical Muslim version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion”. First off, unlike, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, that Muslim Brotherhood memo was not forged. The ones who uncovered it use it to expose more about the threat of radical Islam, not to promote hatred of all American Muslims. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was forged by the Russian Czars in order to promote hatred of all Jews. That’s a big difference. Silverstein notes the letter of protest to Hier for hosting the eye-opening film. Silverstein doesn’t mention that CAIR is a front for radical Islam. It claims to be a civil rights group. But it is an organ of the cultural jihad, which seeks to impose Sharia law from within. CAIR is supported by Saudi Arabia. CAIR expresses support for Hamas and Hezbollah [Joe Badran, the CAIR-Florida representative expresses support for Hamas, denies that it is a terrorist organization and says that Hamas is better than Fatah]. The Third Jihad even shows CAIR members being evasive like when being asked about supporting terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah or expressing support for Hamas and showed Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi publicly expressing support for Hamas and Hezbollah at a CAIR-sponsored rally. CAIR seeks to portray any one who exposes the threat from radical Islam as Islamophobic. And Richard Silverstein’s Tikun Olam is helping these cultural Jihadists. How can the film present an insult to all American Muslims if the narrator [Zudhi Jassar] says that he loves Islam? The answer is that the film isn’t an insult of all American Muslims. it just exposes the radical Islamic threat. The claim about Hier not caring about the concerns of the Muslim community is rubbish. I don’t believe that he seeks to promote hatred toward all Muslims or all of Islam. The museum of Tolerance has an exhibition about Darfur on its website [the genocide in Darfur includes the bloodthirsty killings of non-Arab Muslims to say the least].

Daniel Pipes and other Jewish neo-cons are not Muslim haters. They seek to expose the threat of radical Islam. Daniel Pipes did not even blame all of Islam for the threat of radical Islam. But Daniel Pipes seeks to expose the threat of radical Islam. Unlike Richard Silverstein, Daniel Pipes and Jewish neo-cons are promoting the truth. The slanderous post continues with this claim:

The Wiesenthal Center screenings were co-sponsored by another extremist group, the American Freedom Alliance.  One look at its website makes you realize you’re visiting territory so far off the right side of the universe it might as well be Pluto.  Here’s but a taste:

The American Freedom Alliance is a non-political, non partisan, movement of concerned Americans which identifies threats to western civilization. The organization promotes networking, activism and education in the following six areas:

* The Islamic penetration of Europe
* The collapse of academic freedom
* The identification and sources of media bias
* The growth of radical environmentalism
* The necessity for missile defense
* The dangers presented by the global governance movement

IPS notes that the Washington, D.C. screening of the film was promoted and documented by the International Free Press Society, which also heavily publicized the U.S. speaking tour of far-right Dutch Muslim hater, Geert Wilders.  He himself produced an anti-Muslim film screed, Fitna, which I jokingly called here “Dutch for garbage.”  Even the ADL has labelled Wilders “inflammatory” and Britain has refused him entry.  Both Wilders and some members of IFPS have been linked to the Belgian neo-fascist group, Vlaams Belang.

The American Freedom Alliance, as seem from the description, seems to reflect my views. To Silverstein, any organization that exposes the threat of radical Islam is an extremist group. First off, I identify myself with right-wing Conservatives and am proud to be very right-wing. The post claims that Geert Wilders [who I don't totally agree with when it comes to Islam] and some members of the IFPS are liked to Vlaams Blang, which the post claims to be Fascist. Whether those guys are linked to that group and whether that group is Fascist will not be discussed in this article. But it doesn’t make Jassar or anyone who make the eye-opening Third Jihad documentary connected to those groups or guys. For example, many liberals kept on excusing Barack Obama, during his Presidential election campaign when he got an endorsement from a Hamas terrorist. Whether Fitna is an anti-Muslim film screed or not will also not be discussed in this column.

The facts on the ground is that the Third Jihad is not a Fascist film, but seeks to expose radical Islam, which is a Fascist ideology.

The slanderous post concludes with:

ll in all, this is a nice set of bedfellows with whom the Clarion Fund and the Museum of Tolerance are sleeping.  But Rabbi Hier and Raphael Shore should remember what happens when you lie down with dogs…

I find it sad to report that just as Wilders spoke to synagogue audiences during his tour here, Detroit’s Temple Israel also screened Third Jihad.  Someone should ask Rabbi Joshua Bennett what he was thinking when he invited these hatemongers into his shul.

The brutal truth of the matter is that instead of awakening the world to the danger of radical Islam, films like this actually promote Islamophobia and are conducive to an atmosphere that provokes violence against American Muslims.

So now Gert Wilders, Vlaams Blang and IFPS, all of who, allegedly endorse the Third Jihad documentary are now bedfellows with the Museum of Tolerance and the Clarion fund, in the far-left world of Richard Silverstein, despite the fact that there’s no evidence to support that claim. Silverstein finds it sad that Temple Israel screened the Third Jihad documentary and calls those who showed that film hatemongers without presenting any evidence. The film Third Jihad does not promote islamophobia nor is it “conducive to an atmosphere that provokes violence against American Muslims”.  How is the narrator saying that he loves Islam and that he’s a devout Muslim promote Islamophobia and make it “conducive to an atmosphere that provokes violence against American Muslims”? I dare Richard Silverstein to explain how the film does do those things. That film just seeks to expose the Cultural Jihad, which seeks to radical Islamic tyranny from within, which is the same kind of society Al Qaeda fights for, but with different methods.

Any film that exposes the truth about radical Islam makes Richard Silverstein believe that that film is “one of the most Islamophobic films ever produced”, that it promotes Islamophobia and that it is “conducive to an atmosphere that provokes violence against American Muslims”. This should provoke any question from any serious person about how you can make a film that exposes radical Islam without Richard Silverstein saying these slanderous things about it. I didn’t see any part of the film that says, “Unlike some religious traditions, Islam comprehends evil as something inherently human.” But I did see Silverstein say that about Judaism on the about page. The film Third Jihad says that it’s not about Islam and that a minority of the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims [really there are 2 billion Muslims, but let that pass] are radical. That doesn’t promote Islamophobia nor make it “conducive to an atmosphere that provokes violence against American Muslims”. Richard Silverstein is a radical leftist propagandist who seeks to slander all those who don’t stand Islam above criticism and/or show the threat of radical Islam. The post doesn’t even refute any of the claims made in that documentary, but just attacks the messengers and makes slanderous accusations against it that contain no evidence.

“Fighting for freedom…fighting for Islam – that is not suicide. They [the suicide bombers] kill themselves for Islam.”

CAIR [Council on American-Islamic Relations] is constantly described in the liberal mainstream media as a human rights group  and as a civil rights group. CAIR likes to portray itself as such. CAIR also claims to condemn terrorism, while publicly supporting terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad [PIJ]. CAIR has a section on its website labelled “CAIR’s anti-terrorism Campaign.” In its “anti-terrorism campaign” section, CAIR says:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has consistently and persistently condemned terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians.  CAIR has also organized fatwas, petition drives, placed advertisements in national and local newspapers, ran public service announcements on television and radio stations, helped local Mosques across the United States in holding open houses, published Op-Eds in local and national newspapers, conducted inter-faith meetings and worked with scholars to disseminate the peaceful teachings of Islam.

There is video footage of Jawhar “Joe” Badran, a CAIR-Florida representative, of expressing support for Hamas in a CAIR rally. When asked about Hamas committing a terrorist act, Badran says, “I’m saying that the State of Israel has committed a terrorist act.”

When asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, Joe Badran says,”Hamas is not a terrorist organization.” Other CAIR demonstrators in the rally have also said no to the question of Hamas being a terrorist organization. The CAIR-Florida videographer at the rally shook her head no when asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization.

When asked which is better Hamas or Fatah, Badran says Hamas. He claimed that Israel supported Fatah because they were corrupt.

“I’ve been saying for years that Hamas is better than Fatah because there’s no corruption. Hamas takes care of the people,” says Joe Badran.

When it comes to terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah or Islamic Jihad, CAIR is evasive or expresses support for them. When evasive, CAIR claims that it condemns terrorist acts, playing a little game to dodge the question in order to retain the appearance of a moderate group without condemning them.

Nihad Awad, cofounder and Executive Director of CAIR, said, “After I researched the situation inside and outside Palestine, I am in support of the Hamas movement more than the PLO. I know that this movement as an Islamic movement has not been objectively reported in the United States…”

Badran also said, “Hamas and Hezbollah are committing acts of defense against the acts of the Israelis. The only weapons that we have are to strap bombs on our bodies and do whatever damage and destruction we can.”

CAIR comes from the Hamas front Islamic Association for Palestine [IAP]. CAIR portrays itself as a moderate civil rights and/or as a human rights group. It seeks to portray itself as a group that opposes terrorism. The reality is that CAIR seeks to impose an Islamo-fascist state on the world that is obviously ruled by Sharia law. CAIR supports Islamist terrorism. Even if it isn’t Al Qaeda [since cultural jihadists are less likely to get away with the appearence of moderate if they don't condemn Al Qaeda], CAIR still supports Hamas, Hezbollah and other Islamist groups. As seen here, CAIR has expressed support for suicide bombings. CAIR defends terrorists. When Sami Al-Arian, a notorious Palestinian Islamic Jihad [PIJ] terrorist was on trial, CAIR called for his release. CAIR is a front for Islamic terrorists and supports the jihad on infidels. When any action is taken against radical Islam, CAiR then condemns it in the name of civil rights. Anyone who looks at what’s going on is a bigot, racist or islamophobe to cultural jihadists like CAIR.

CAIR is no moderate group. It’s a cultural jihadist group that seeks to subvert America from within. The 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memo lists the IAP, the father of CAIR, in the “list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends.” Yes, it’s in the same Muslim Brotherhood memo that says:

The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and workwherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be equal.

CAIR is just continuing the “Civilization-Jihadist process” since the day it was founded by members of the IAP.  CAIR’s and other cultural jihadist terrorist front groups recieves backing from Saudi Arabia. Does these facts make CAIR sound like the group the liberal mainstream media portrays it as such? The answer is obviously no. These are not all of the facts that show that CAIR is a radical Islamic group, but just some of the evidence.
